Studio Surf Styles Vol. 1 Hodads Hang 10!

The Syndicate of Surf

The Syndicate of Surf was barely more than a gleam in Dick Dale's eye when it found itself trapped on a school bus each day for an hour and a half and subjected to the Top 40 playlist of Detroit's CKLW. It matured slowly and found the more fertile sounds of early 70's FM radio and was fed by DJs like Kid Leo on Cleveland's WMMS. It then consumed it's sister's record collection and built it's own made of pop, rock, RAMONES and Sabbath. The Rock Muse was the mother that Lester Bangs rolled and became it's surrogate father.

Available now as Limited Edition Digipack CD and digital download from Sharawaji Records.

Sharawaji Records is proud to announce the release of the debut album from The Syndicate of Surf.

Studio Surf Styles Vol. 1 Hodads Hang 10! explores the the rich sonic landscape as the sun sets on the surf music craze of the mid 1960s, and considers how surf music would have developed if the British Invasion had not so much wiped out surf music, but melded with it in a glorious tidal wave of Silvertone powered rock n roll.

You will hear tracks originally recorded by The Stooges, The Dictators, The Ramones, Bob Lind, The Seeds, The Sex Pistols and Swing West in addition to four original compositions by Da Vinci Flinglestein.

The debut recording, has been professionally mixed and mastered by Gary Hobish at Armin Hammer Productions for release by Sharawaji Records as a digital download in addition to a full retail release as a Limited Edition Digipack CD.
